Welcome to bookchat where you can talk about anything...books, plays, essays, and audio books. You don’t have to be reading a book to come in, sit down, and chat with us.
...
As I have often said, there are so many great mystery series set in many different countries that we can learn from as well as enjoy the thrilling pursuit of the criminal by those who seek justice.
…
Many of you can list my favorite series without reading down the page as I mention them so often. But it is your chance to remind of us your favorites as well.
